Choose the correct order of the atmospheric layers. (Top of list is highest, bottom of list is nearest the earth.)

This atmospheric layer is where all weather occurs.

The ozone layer is located in this atmospheric layer.

This atmospheric layer is the warmest of all the layers.

Air pressure is the force exerted by the gases pushing on an abject.

Air pressure is less near the surface of the Earth.

These absorb and retain the energy radiated from land and ocean surfaces.

This is changed to heat that moves/radiates back into the atmosphere.

The amount of this has changed in the atmosphere.

These contribute to the change in Earth's atmospheric composition.

Adding or subtracting this makes the water cycle work.

Water continually cycles between the atmosphere, land, and this, via the water cycle.

This is required for water to condense on.

Surface-water flow or groundwater flow are examples of this.

Meterologists predict this.

Weather occurs here.

Wind speed is measured with what instrument.

A barometer measures what?

Increased levels of humidity can be associated with a low probability of precipitation.

High pressure brings _____ weather.

Low pressure brings _____ weather.

Wind direction is described by...

Clouds form from the ___________ of water vapor.

Clouds are classified by their _____.

There are 3 major groups of cloud classification.

The suffix, nimbus, means...

Wind is caused by air flowing from high pressure to low pressure.

Huge bodies of air that form over water or land.

This type of front occurs when warm air collides and rides over cold air.

This type of front occurs when cold air collides and rides under warm air.

This type of front occurs when cold air pushes into a warm air mass that is behind a cool air mass.

When warm air rises and combines with the spinning of Earth, it causes air to spin. Spinning air forms these pressure regions/systems.

Low pressure system winds circulate this direction.

The Coriolis Effect is ...

The rotation of Earth and the differences in heating of the Earth impact the _______.

Identify the 3 climate regions of the Earth.

These travel around the globe.

In the troposphere, as altitude increases, temperature _________.

Topography
